ArdRi Communications specialises in the provision of technical solutions for all aspects of IP networking, in particular:

- Network Design

An extensive amount of IP and converged network design experience is available. The company’s founder has designed some of the largest and most complex networks in the world, supporting 10,000+ routers and 50,000+ end-users. Detailed designs are all lab-tested prior to implementation. We believe that design is done in the lab rather than on a whiteboard.

- Network Configuration and Installation

Full configuration, testing and installation services are available for all LAN and WAN networking devices such as routers, switches and hubs. The configuration and performance optimisation of Cisco equipment is a particular forte. Highly experienced Cisco-certified engineers carry out the work. Installation expertise is also available for a variety of other vendors including Lucent, Nortel, and Alcatel.

- Network Auditing and Security solutions

What exactly is on your network, and how well does the network perform? How secure is the network? We perform audits of all devices, protocols and utilisation levels across the network. The service includes detailed suggestions and an outline plan for correcting faults, tidying up the network, improving performance and security and migrating to a superior infrastructure, if necessary.
